Molten Chocolate Cake for One

Having a good cake recipe in your repertoire is like having a good song in your back pocket or perhaps a magic trick — something you can perform on demand. I always like to have a good cake recipe on hand. It’s a useful thing – emergencies, birthdays or even Mondays – a cake recipe always comes in handy. Not to mention, if you pass it on, people are always eternally grateful to you. This recipe, however, is a little selfish in that regard. It’s meant for one (and I hope you don’t share dessert). Some days, showing up at a friend’s house with cake is good. Some days, throwing your feet up on the couch, watching Gilmore Girls and eating this cake for dinner is even better.

It’s a breeze to make so there are hardly any notes here. The only thing I noticed was that it’s open to a plethora of flavor possibilities – sea salt, caramel, strawberry, coffee, praline paste, paprika, bananas foster, coconut and even Eggnog during Christmas time. Now, in the name of recipe testing, I’m going to need to make this multiple times. The calories don’t count, right?
